We are dedicated to making your bald eagle photography workshop & tour the best possible experience you can have.
Finally look forward to doing something outside in Sousteast Iowa the cold weather!! You will spend your time photographing bald eagles in the Quad Cities (Bettendorf, Davenport, Moline, IL & East Moline, IL), which is one of the best places in the Midwest, and the United States!
Our ultimate goal is to go beyond the expected and deliver stunning results!!
Adventure through the winter in southeastern Iowa, alongside an Award-winning wildlife photographer as your photography guide and instructor. This is the greatest place in the Midwest of the United States for bald eagles.
On this photography workshop & tour, designed for photographers of all levels, you will focus on the majestic bald eagle, and their fight for food during the cold winter months. Activity level is mild, requiring less than 1/2 mile of walking each day. Walking on packed snow and ice may be required.
When people talk about Iowa, the term "vacation destination" isn't on many non-photographers minds. However, it is a yearly vacation spot for many photographers due to the high concentration of bald eagles along the Mississippi River. Our focus will be to capture stunning images of eagles as they soar high above, dive down from the sky to catch fish, and fight other eagles over their catch.
Some of the following cities that have the best congregations of bald eagles in the United States during the cold weather winter months.
Dubuque - Clinton - Le Claire - Davenport - Burlington - Fort Madison

Due to the proximity to wildlife, pets are not allowed on the photography workshop. Thank you for understanding.
Tour groups are limited to 3 people. The small group size will allow everyone plenty of room for personal space and photographic gear. It will also allow plenty of time for One-on-One photographic instruction.

Amazing discount for 2 or more in the group, or combining with another tour.
A group of 2 - 3 photographers is only an additional $1000 for each photographer over the single photographer rate. I don't charge full price for each additional photographer in your group like other guides. I don't think it is right to do so for groups. Groups larger than 3 will have additional discounts applied.
